Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Wherefore AURORA$ORB$UNAUTHENTICATED
Yes, the AURORA$ suggests that. I'm trying to find out exacty what it is
used for. It's another one of those accounts that Oracle sneakily creates.
It is a potential target for a denial of service attack.
I have already taken appropriate preventitive steps, but I don't like removing create session privileges, and/or changing the password from an account whose purpose is unknown.

I *believe* (but don't quote me on this) that it has to do with Oracle's JVM... at least that's what a developer friend told me
